Finally got the right. Amazing in my lifetime have seen attempts to stop women from voting because "white men" thought they would make better decisions than women. The Voters Rights Act was a hard fought one also. Protesters was jailed, struck and in the effort to get AA's registered to vote there was some killed. The GOP has a problem getting elected so here comes voter suppression. The voter ID is a crappy way of preventing many from voting, we cannot allow the GOP to continue to win with this game, we have to get registered and get the ID required and then go and vote. I don't agree with the ID crap but we can beat them at their game, we have the numbers.
